"What am i really fighting for? What are the people around me really fighting for?"
Wealth? Power? Security? Love?
When is enough? When do we really think it's the best we can get? How do we know whatever we are having now, is sufficient? That anymore further than that, we'd fall?
It's easier said than done. To have a balance. But we all know we bound to sacrifice something for something else we want. How do we know we would not regret? What if at the end of the day, the after-math is non-reversible?
I kept asking myself all these questions over and over again for the past one to two months.
And I'd come to a conclusion..
Everybody wants to be successful. Everyone wants to be have lots of money at their disposal. I want it too. I remembered telling my friends that I want to bring my parents for first class travel. That's what i promised my dad that's what I'd do and that's what I will do. I'd always work for an improvement in myself. I'd always be at my best in whatever I do. Every little simple small task might seem meaningless but you'd never know when you'd need it. My singing teacher and dad had taught me to be patient. Good things have to wait. I'd be quick but steady. My future ambition is to be a sales and marketing manager/director and that's what I'd work towards to. I'll make sure every steps that i take, though it might be a small step but at least, I'm working towards it. My studies is the first big stone. The second stone to get a marketing job now, be it assistant etc as long as I get to touch on marketing, it's fine. Third stone I'd step on is after i graduate, I'll use my cert and experience to get into a reputable company and work my way up from there. It'd take 10-15 years but if that's what it takes for me to reach the top and STAY there, I will. Even if one day i get retrenched, I'm sure with my experience and skills, I'd be able to get another job of similar job scopes and income.
Slow but steady wins the race. How slow is slow?
I believe everyone misunderstood this phrase.
Asking you to be slow doesn't necessary means at tortoise pace. To start as a cleaner and work all the way up to director.
This phrase calls for you to be slow in the sense to carefully plan and analyze your next step and WAIT for opportunity and assess every of the opportunities and jump on it when the time if ripe. How slow can you be? My dad had taught me values such as, to be patient, and wait for opportunity. The same that goes for my singing teacher who taught me that. Be prepared and the opportunity will come. Widen your skills and everything so there will be more opportunities for you to assess. But don't be so stupid to stay in the company and work for 2 or more years without any promotion or pay raise, that one is stupid okay. That's not slow and steady. That's dumb and slow. Always have a vision and make sure to carefully path out your future.
Everyone starts from somewhere.
